@@nix2883 yes you can, you can change the gpu in some mxm laptops, mainly hp provisions, elitebooks, Alienware laptops, and clevo. Not new laptops or recent ones but mainly older laptops but only with some models
>Came in hoping for some kind of crazy desoldering upgrade >It's an MXM board instead Meh, at least it's a bit more effort that plopping an SSD in there and calling it a massive upgrade or whatnot. Still, meh.
@@432pro There was something released at CES this year by... I can't remember, HP maybe? And well it was kinda modular with some upgradability apparently. Though yeah, a one off is anything but standard.
Fulgore I saw your post on another channel about you putting a gtx 980m in your 8770w. My brother has the 8760w with the 4000m, 32gb, and the 2820q core i7, as far as I know the 4000m is at the same 100 TDP as the gtx 980m. Was it as simple as dropping it in and loading the 980m drivers? Anyway thanks for putting your neck out and trying this even though some say its not possible and giving life to a old laptop.
@@SupraNaturalTT no prob just giving people hope about these dying breeds of laptops. And it all depends on the seller and the card( correct vbios and right compatibility). I bought an 870m i recommended for a client that also had a 8760. The seller told me that the card would work on the laptop but i just had to make quick work of some inf files from the drivers and it worked great. And for me i bought a 980m from the same seller on ebay. And he was selling 980m with the correct hp vbios for these elitebooks and all i had to do is just put the card on the slot, turn it on install drivers WITHOUT modding drivers files and done.
@NiggaNig420 TOONZ NiggaNig420 TOONZ i wish that were true my man but: 1. I7 3980xm does not exist. There are only 2 extremes on third gen which is 3920xm and 3940xm. 2. There is no such thing a mobile version of a 1080 ti. Only a regular 1080 mobile that has 8gb of gddrx5 vram. And if the 1080 ti mobile existed it certainly would not have 6gb ram. Also 1080 mobile is 150 watts. 8770w supports only 100 watts, until eurocom makes a mxm B and lowers the tdp on a 1080 mobile. 3. That WOULD be a beastly build if all that where to exist.
@@FulgoreElite omg that's so awesone to hear. Thanka so much for getting back to me, some how RU-vid never updated me about you and others response. I will look into that seller you mentioned, again thanks for the info.
Simply not worth in this year. Tho seeing a Laptop which actually had the option to upgrade GPU is amazing, i think every laptop should be made this way in order to decrease Tech waste.
@@boomer5394 still not worth at all, sell this laptop to some dude who works on this and get a good 1000 out of it when not more buy something for 1500k and it has three times the performance.
The Elitebooks are still being made and are still a decent Business class machine. The 8470W are a great fit for building a Hackintosh and physically resemble the 2011-2013 Macbook Pro. I have an 8470 that was running High Sierra. It's run just about every OS I've thrown at it. With 16GB or RAM, the machine flies. It's been replaced by a Precision M4800, but its hard to give it up. It has served me well.
You actually made a favor to your laptop cooling. Old GPU Quadro K4000M - 100W TDP , New GPU GeForce GTX 970M - 75 W TDP. I guess those old gen 9XX will get even cheaper.
I finally upgraded my hp zbook 17 G1, From quadro k3100m to gtx970, and it works perfectly, the only exception is that I had to install a app to control my laptop fan because it works at full even when it's cool, I'm just posting this incase if anyone has a quick question
I went from a gtx 1080 to rtx 2080. I went from an i7 to the i9990k and I went from mechanical hard drives to 4 ssd. I also settled on 128gb ram. Upgrading is fun but not when your making tiny improvements which cost a lot of money with hardly any gain.
Not really though. Im running a 980m on a 8770w with a 3940xm and temps on gpu and cpu usually sit around 68c and 75c when i play ghost recon wildlands and monster hunter world on high settings 1080. Of course the cpu has liquid metal and gpu has thermal kryonaut grease...(testing reasons). And when i adapt an opolar laptop vacuum cooler to the laptop vent it lowers temp on both cpu and gpu by a good reasonable margin. Not once the laptop throttled and i maked sure of that.
the K4000M is a good card it just massively underclocked , the memory can be overclocked by 600% and the core clock to 1000mhz , its really a gtx 660 with 4gb of ram and a full 256 bit buswidth instead of 192bit , at stock is like a gtx 750 or gt 1030 but overclocked or modded bios its a gtx660 will perform similar to a gtx1050 ti
@@Drottninggatan2017 its overclockable your all so wrong....... i have done using an nvidia bios flasher for KEPLAR....... all you have to do is unlock the clocks in the bios editor and save the bios nothing else..... in msi afterburner you can set the clock speed to anything stable....... nvidia bioses were not locked intill pascal ...maxwell quadro chip can be overclocked as well google it.......... your all ignorant!!! and just made yourselves look dumb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you using outdated 3dmark test which is poorly optimized for gtx 970m the gtx 970m gets 50k in cloud gate while quadro k4000m gets 20k (light dx9 gaming) the gtx 970m gets 7600 in firestrike while quadro k4000m gets 2800 (heavy dx11 gaming) in other words, it's much more than twice as fast
970m is slightly better than a 1050Ti desktop card but not much. Years ago I upgraded my msi laptop with a 970m from a 770m but I paid $190 usd for it.
@Firez I had a Compaq cq57-339wm and the celeron cpu was actually in a socket. Was able to put in an i5-2450m and a sata 3 samsung 840 pro and suddenly a $100 laptop became pretty fast! 8 years later and my sister is still using it as her school computer
Rhem TV almost all Lenovo laptop have upgradable cpu. It’s more restrictive then a pc. But I upgraded couple laptops cpu from Lenovo, they usually give you compatibility sheet if your search it up. They also work really well with external graphics card. My own personal Lenovo laptop has i7-3630qm which is decent, but going upgrade to a i7 3940xm. It’s also Pair with rx570 8gb runs any modern game on highest setting for around 40-70 fps. Be surprise laptops especially Lenovo are pretty easy and cheap to upgrade.
Omg the cooling design in your laptop is so much better than my newly bought acer i5 8250u and mx150. My laptop temp is crazy high. It only has 1 single heat pipe that runs througgh both cpu and gpu which is a bad idea
You can add a 5tb hard drive to these laptops and it has 32gb of ram. Mine is hp 8760w. And a SSD for the boot. Might fit a little bit tight with the 5tb hhd.
a couple years ago, I mustered the courage to buy a 980m from aliexpress. Can confirm that it works with an 8770w. It runs super hot under even medium load, but windows 10 will automatically configure the 980m for use. All you gotta do is stick the 980m into the mxm slot, boot your 8770w, wait for windows to find and install the nvidia driver, and you're good to go.
Since people keep asking if their cheap Wal-Mart laptop can have the GPU upgraded: Does your laptop use MXM GPUs? If so, it's upgradable. If not, it's likely soldered onto the laptop or it uses some custom GPU slot. If you own a newer laptop with Thunderbolt you can use an EGPU if you have money to blow, but you won't be able to use it "on the go" unless you lug the GPU with you.
okay what i dont understand is why a bench mark that looks like it's straight out of 2004 is only running at 30fps on a 970 class gpu. M or not i thought it would be wayyyyy more capable than that
the old gtx m cards are only about 40% as strong as the big versions. the gtx 10XX series only is 5% weaker in laptops, which made a big impact, coming from a gtx960m to a gtx1060 in laptops
MrMarans no. The 970m was about 70%+ of the desktop. I had a 970m. And I have desktop 970 too. It’s just that old benchmarks on newer cards perform lowly. He should of tested firestrike
Gotta say I had the idea to upgrade a laptop I had Push it to the limit I maxed out the CPU, maxed out the ram, modified the GPU bios to run on a higher voltage When I saw the price of buying the max GPU that would fit it was waaaay too much..I mean hundreads of dollars for an out of date, underpowered, lack luster card...so instead I picked up an external GPU dock, a desktop GPU, and a monitor The benchmark results were so much higher than the built in GPU could ever hope to get, if you're willing to drop that kind of money on a GPU upgrade you should look into external graphics
Could you list the actual part number of the graphics card you got on eBay...I would like to do this with my 8770w....thank you for the video and the info!
@@stevegibson157 I'm not sure haha. I plan on doing this upgrade myself next year. There is a thread about it at forum.notebookreview.com/threads/hp-elitebook-8770w-and-970m-6gb-and-980m-8gb-they-work.786791/
I had one which I sold to upgrade to Zbook 17 G4. I am regretting the move, the 8770w is built like a tank, very solid and they input keys are also fairly still which adds to their toughness. If you still have the 8770w you can use them for good 10 more years at least, they are very futureproof, easy to upgrade and extremely tough and durable machines.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Sorry mate, no idea, I normally utilize professionals for any issues that I have with laptops, am more comfortable troubleshooting/maintenance and upgrade of PCs. In my opinion it would be worth the time and money to fix your 8770w, Cheers.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Just share my experience, as I had split soft drink on the keyboard which leaked in and damaged the motherboard. I ordered a replacement motherboard on ebay which fixed the issue. My point being with i7 and Dreamcolor and other other power specs it is worth your time and effort to upgrade. After using a beast like 8770w the modern fragile and ultra portable laptops of today seem like toys, pardon the pun mate.
@@darthtrolleus1947 Check the price of the premium 8770w close to your specs on ebay mate, you will be surprised the actual value that it still holds. In my opinion it is worth forking out your extra bucks.
Hummm can we just talk about the fact that he first made benchmarks with Windows and at the end he did benchmark with Ubuntu, so, this for sure could help in the first place, and the games you used was so easy to run I don't even understand why you would make a video like that. I'm chocked.
If your laptop has a 720M it may be theoretically possible seeing as it is an MXM chip but i dont have any diagrams on hand to see if that really is the case. Diagrams aside I'd say it isn't worth it even if it were possible. The laptop has a power supply of 65W and that suits the 720m just fine as it, along with the cpu only has a TDP of ~48W. If you upgrade to a 740m you can pull it off as it requires the same amount of power but stretching for a 750m (which has been below minimum requirements since 2016) will require 65w and you've already reached the theoretical maximum your power supply can provide. I'd say your only two options are: 1: Sacrifice mobility and invest in a discrete desktop GPU and a mini pcie eGPU like the eXP GDC Beast. This setup will occupy your WLAN and you may need to use a USB WLAN card instead to stay connected to the internet if you opt to go down this router. 2: Sell your laptop and buy a new one. There are some affordable laptops out there with GT 1050s and 1050Tis that will outperform your setup for less than $700US.
If your laptop has a WiFi card or any other PCI card which can be removed you can put an eGPU. Almost every laptop has this but some require a custom BIOS
Yes, funny that ASRock offers DeskMini Barebones with MXM Slot: www.asrock.com/nettop/Intel/DeskMini%20GTX%20(Z390)/index.us.asp But as you can see, MXM cards aren't officially available for consumers just a few spare parts from repair shops taken out of dead notebooks, so instead I'd rather get a really small ITX Case like the DAN Cases A4-SFX v3, Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Shift [X] or Cryorig Taku where I can put in a normal Graphics Card with a maximum length of 250-300mm.
I have the same laptop i want to upgrade it to 4gb Nvidia graphic card can you please reply me with the best link to buy it in same size but 4gb..now i have 2gb graphic card in it of Nvidia
@@claritoresdiano1021 The last user-friendly version of Windows was Windows 7. By default, Windows 10 has some options you can't disable easily, and it makes it harder to change the default browser compared to Windows 7 or Ubuntu. It also installs games you don't want by default and even Solitaire has ads. You can't even disable Windows Update or other stuff without using 3rd party apps. Ubuntu MATE is much more user friendly: it's not bloated with ads and spyware, you just install it and it's fine for most people.
yup, but some laptops is just a pearl, if they do not died on last 3 years... i have a dell laptop (a inspiron n4010 to know) 6 years, chracked hinches but rock solid never had a single problem despite this have ANY graphics solution available, not even hd graphics.
@@GrulbGL I didnt talk about quality of laptop....fact is he insvested 350-500$ in gtx970m ....New lenovo Legion laptop is here 700€ with gtx1050ti 4gb and intel 8300 cpu. New its new.
My 9 year old laptop sucked too much so I just built my own pc with ryzen 5 2600 + rx 580 8g, beatst computer that runs graphic intensive game at high fps.
Hi, thanks for sharing but i have question. How did you remove your X bracket from your old GPU? Do you need to heat it up 1st and then pull? And how did you install the old X bracket to your new GPU? Do you need re-pasting it? Thanks in advance.
Dude, thanks for sharing this, but I like to put a few comments. 1. What was original GPU? I think you never mentioned. 2. Lighting dude! You don't need too expensive light boxes. Just buy a more powerful light bulb or use a led flashlight. 3. Unscrewing bolts with one hand and taking video it is hardcore dude :) I was terrified that you accidentally damage some components on PCB.
I think you can give it a quadro p4000-5200 even that’s a 16gb gpu as an owner of zbook 17 g1-2 I guarantee it make sure p4200-5200 have their bios chips
Can you upgrade a Dell Latitude E6510? I want to replace both the CPU *and* GPU in mine. Maybe also add a touchscreen and blu-ray drive, and completely restore the exterior case.
